As you welcome in the New Year and get inundated with everyone's New Year resolutions. I would encourage you to set some that are of value to who you are and who God has called you to be.

As a pastor's wife, here are a few of mine....

1. I would use my time wisely to pour into myself spiritually, whether that be diving into the word, reading books about ministry, having more quiet times before The Lord and so on. That I may grow as the woman of God He is calling me to be, and become the pastor's wife He intends me to be for 2015.

2. That I would remember who I am and whose I am this year. That I wouldn't lose my identity in a title, or job. But remember who I am, that I may be "me" in everything that may come my way.

3. I want to keep growing and learning as the woman of God He has called me to be. It is when we stop growing that we start dying.

4. I want to see Jesus everywhere in any circumstance. I don't want to forget that He is all around me among the chaos of life. He is with me while being a mother, a friend, a wife, a pastor's wife and so on. I want to keep Him the center of everything, and not try to make Him my #1.

5. Love with everything in me. I want to love people better and with a genuine heart. I want people to leave me feeling genuinely loved. Teach me how to LOVE like you love Jesus.

6. Dream and be in tune and ready for whatever Christ holds for me and my family in 2015.
